Dreaming big for DKI in Cairo – Vacation Bible School 2013

Posted by Nick on April 19, 2013

Last year thanks to the generosity of CCI supporters and a church in the UAE (of all places!) the Destiny Kids Vacation Bible School was a huge success, bringing the Gospel to 75 teenagers and young people from the Sudanese refugee community in a way that would not have been possible without God’s direct intervention and miraculous provision.

This year Pastor Fredrick and his team are planning to hold Vacation Bible School between 8-11 July 2013 and they are dreaming even bigger…

They want to run VBS in 2013 for 170 youngsters!!

Fredrick writes: “Dear CCI friends, we know from our past experiences that Destiny Kids can’t do the VBS on our own strength and so we totally trust and depend on the Lord for everything needed for this event. God has been so good to us each year since we started VBS and we are especially thankful to the CCI team and supporters for all their help. We believe that God can and will do it again and we feel that He wants us to reach out through the 2013 VBS to 170 young people with the love of Christ. So I invite you to partner with DKI in prayer as we look to the Lord for Vacation Bible School this year.”

The cost of DKI’s “big dream” is US$5,100 or just $30 per child which will cover the costs of the venue, feeding and transporting the young people and the leaders as well as provide all the materials, resources and t-shirts for everyone taking part.

Please join the CCI team and everyone involved with Destiny Kids in praying for Vacation Bible School this year – and let’s expect the miraculous!

A belated update on CCI around the world

Posted by Bill on April 3, 2013

You’ might be thinking that CCI’s ministry pulse is low judging from the lack of news from CCI and our team. A series of tough challenges for several team members have prevented use from keeping up to date with some of the great things the Lord has assigned to CCI.

I assure you that CCI is very much alive and well … pulsating with an assortment of exciting ministry enterprises in a number of global locations. Here’s an update of things presently on our radar …

Myanmar (Burma): Small Groups Development training manual being translated into the local language for empowering church leaders

India: CCI is consulting with two churches about Small Groups Development.

Cairo: “Fireball Fredrick” is facilitating Small Groups Development training with 7-8 teenagers of Destiny Kids International.

South Sudan: Pastor Saturnino is planning another assignment there in June, involving Fredrick, aimed at small groups leader training, discipleship, and trialling the Destiny Kids model in that challenging environment.

Kenya: Pastor Elijah, based in Nigeria, is putting the final touches to an assignment that will take him to Kenya in June to facilitate small groups development training

We are grateful to the Lord for continuing to fund CCI for these worthwhile investment opportunities. What He entrusts into our care, we do our best to manage well. We are a ‘not for profit’ concern that is glad to reach far and wide to take hold of the opportunities He determines for us.

Thank you for your continuing partnership.

The Lord is good!

More from Destiny Kids – a combined celebration

Posted by Bill on August 1, 2012

Great news continues to flow out of DKI’s harvest field. Take a moment and enjoy this refreshing testimony from ‘Fireball’ Fredrick in Cairo…

A few days ago we thought of having a combined celebration with both campus’ of Destiny Kids Youth. Reason for this was for the kids to get to know each other and also to get to worship in the other locations. So I shared with my team and they all loved the idea. We decided to have the program at the end of every month; at the same time they meet which is (Maadi every Sunday and in Hay El Asher every Monday).

On the 30^th of July, 2012, at around 5.30pm, we started the program with Hay El Asher Youth. It was a time of Celebration, the whole Hay El Asher team prepared to meet with the DKI team from Maadi and there was food, praise and worship, games, a Q&A session and some devotional time. We were 79 in total, including myself, my wife and Mama Joyce (the coordinator of the Hay El Asher group).

We bless God for everything. Next month, which is August the 26th, 2012, Maadi Youth will be hosting Hay El Asher at the Maadi branc. Pray along with us that it will be

A time of refreshing in the presence of the Lord
God should provide the basic need which is transportation
May the presence of the Lord be felt by everyone

Thank you, and God bless as you pray along with us
